<p>I am deciding between Vanderbilt University and Pomona College for my undergraduate education. I gotten vary similar financial aid packages from both schools, so that isn't an issue. The issue of liberal arts school vs a medium sized university isn't an issue because there are pros and cons to each and in my situation, it won't make a drastic difference. As for the social/frat/sports scene at Vanderbilt , that isn't a problem either. Any help deciding on which to attend, or any reviews if you have visited/gone to either schools.</p>
<p>Pomona! The undergraduate education and experience you’ll receive at Pomona will be unprecedented. Also, SoCal is way better than Tennessee.</p>
<p>It’d be helpful if you had any specific questions/concerns regarding Pomona, otherwise that’s my answer (bias included).</p>
<p>ceteris paribus, Pomona is just a way better school.
The only reason I could think of for why one would pick Vandy over Pomona is if you wanted the “social/frat/sports scene,” which you don’t seem to care about.</p>
<p>It would depend on your interests. Vanderbilt has an engineering school. Nashville is a city rather than a suburb. Are you crazy for southern hospitality or country music? Seems like you would have a natural preference for one or the other. Have you visited? Did you ask Vanderbilt about being able to get into the classes you want?</p>
